Here is the painting I demonstrated for Red Hill Elementary School last Friday. Eileen French and I were ask to be part of a larger group that showed students different things they could learn about from bee keeping, fire fighting, to cooking, spinning wool or to painting. It was really fun! 12" x 24" oil on canvas, framed $300, SOLD

About Me

Meg West went to Philadelphia College of Art, majored in Graphic Design, and minored in Painting. After working for several years as a graphic designer, in 2000, she started painting again full time.
West paints as a localist, focusing her painting in Albemarle and surrounding
Counties, as well as Skyline Drive and The Blue Ridge Parkway.
Meg paints every day and enjoys the rhythm and momentum that comes with a steady flow of painting. The act of painting is what is important-enjoying the feeling of being connected to the environment, herself and the painting.
